OPEC+ hopes to restore idle production capacity to normal as global oil demand shows resilience. Goldman Sachs said: "The decision to accelerate the pace of production increases announced on Saturday strengthens our confidence. We have pointed out since last summer that OPEC+ will shift to a more long-term balanced strategy, focusing on normalizing idle production capacity and market share, supporting internal cohesion, and strategically restricting US shale oil supply." Goldman Sachs expects that the crude oil production of the eight OPEC+ members will increase by 1.67 million barrels per day from March to September to 33.2 million barrels per day, of which Saudi Arabia accounts for more than 60% of the increase.Jianpeng Holdings (01722.HK) rose more than 105%.Both U.S. and Brent crude oil prices fell by more than 1% during the day, and are now trading at $64.93 per barrel and $67.2 per barrel respectively.

Frasers Property, a Singaporean investment holding company, announced on Monday that it will privatize its subsidiary Frasers Hospitality Trust in a transaction that values the real estate investment trust (REIT) at S$1.35 billion ($970.46 million).


Frasers Property will purchase shares of the REIT, which runs hotels and serviced apartments across Asia, Australia, and Europe, at S$0.70 per share, a premium of 6.1% over their latest closing price.


Frasers Hospitality Trust is smaller than its competitors in a field where scale and size are crucial for liquidity and growth, the company claimed, adding that its size has hindered its ability to reap the benefits of a prolonged listing.


Frasers said that it had struggled to convert its property acquisitions into larger payouts to unitholders.
